Fast travel to the front line of eating melons in the world

Chapter 2228 Cousin is a capitalist lady 54
Zhang Yu stood at the door, watching Zhang Juan wash the dishes. "If Zhang Juan hadn't told you, would you have known about your family's situation?"

Zhang Hui's face darkened. "No, they didn't tell me."

"They told me that Zhang Li had taken a liking to a girl from a well-off family and wanted to pursue her, and that I should save money."

Thinking about this, Zhang Hui was really angry. "He told me that the family expenses were high and that I should save money, but Zhang Li could spend money however he wanted."

"How could they do this? It's outrageous, really outrageous! They clearly said they would take good care of me."

Zhang Hui pursed her lips, feeling resentful. Zhang Yu gently patted her shoulder, knowing she was unwilling to accept it, and said, "This is reality."

“You have to accept that what you need to do now is to save money. Look at Zhang Li, he’s still pursuing his girlfriend and has spent a lot of money. Don’t you think that you’ll spend less money after you marry her?”

"Let me tell you, you're really thinking too simply. A wedding requires money, like buying things. In Sanzhuang Township, you have a watch and a bicycle, but what about the rest?"

"And newlyweds definitely need new clothes, right?"

"The Qiao family can arrange marriages for men who have been divorced twice. How do you think they would love their daughter? I don't know how they would even ask them to."

"Whether you live in a company-provided apartment or at home after marriage, you'll need to arrange something, which costs money."

"Once they get married, they'll both be eating at home, which will cost money. We didn't ask them to contribute when they got married, so how are we going to ask them for money now that they're married?"

"And since they're married, having a child is just around the corner." Zhang Yu meant to let Zhang Hui know that the Zhang family's expenses would be substantial in the future.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hui's eyes lit up. "That's right! How come I never thought of that? When Zhang Li gets married and has a child, my mom will have to go home to take care of her grandson. At that time, I... I..."

There's just one job opening, so she should be able to go back and take over the job, right? Zhang Hui was thrilled at the thought.

Seeing Zhang Hui's excitement, Zhang Yu really didn't want to ruin someone's wonderful idea, but it was impossible not to be the bad guy. "Are you sure you'll get this job?"

Zhang Hui was already dreaming about her job after returning to the city. As a high school graduate, she was sure she could work in an office. But when she heard Zhang Yu's words, she immediately retorted, "Why can't I take over? I'm a high school graduate, and my grades have always been good. I can definitely take over."

Seeing the excited person, Zhang Yu waved his hand, "You are a high school graduate, of course you can take over, and you are qualified to take over."

"But have you considered that your parents will definitely let you take over the business?"

"Did your mother leave this to you from her job?"

“Don’t forget there’s also Zhang Qiang. Look, you have three children. You went to the countryside as an educated youth. If Zhang Qiang had a job, he wouldn’t necessarily have had to be an educated youth.”

Zhang Yu felt that Xue Lei's job was most likely to be left to Zhang Qiang. In their previous life, the Zhang family had a good life and never thought of letting Zhang Hui go back. Now that life has turned out like this, the Zhang family is already having conflicts and expenses have increased dramatically, so they will not consider letting Zhang Hui take over the business.

"Zhang Bin's job was bought. I don't know exactly how much it cost, but I do know it was no small sum."

"After Zhang Qiang graduates and goes out to buy a job, how much do you think the price will rise?" "And if he's already spent so much money just starting out in a relationship, how much will he spend in the future?"

“After Zhang Li gets married and has children, expenses will definitely go up. Do you think it’s possible for your parents to spend a lot of money to buy Zhang Qiang a job?”

"Not to mention, if you go back to take over the job, it's like your family won't have a single educated youth anymore." After saying this, Zhang Yu didn't say anything more and just quietly watched Zhang Juan wash the dishes.

Watching someone wash dishes is really annoying and makes you angry. But no matter how angry she is, Zhang Yu will not go over to help wash the dishes. She ate and drank for free, so isn't it her duty to wash the dishes?
"Oh right, here's the money." Zhang Yu remembered the money for the pot and handed it directly to Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui looked at the money, hesitating to take it. Zhang Yu smiled, "Don't you want so much money?"

"Can I still use the pot?" Zhang Hui thought for a moment and decided that she could only continue using the pot for now.

What's going on? Continue using this pot? Zhang Yu really didn't want to get involved with them. "This is putting me in a very difficult position."

“As you know, we separated at the beginning of the month. If you continue to use my pot, how are we supposed to cook?” Zhang Yu said, expressing her genuine predicament.

Zhang Hui's mind worked quickly. "How about we continue? The family doesn't need your money anyway."

Zhang Yu shook her head. "Forget it. Zhang Tao is getting married soon, and Zhang Li has a girlfriend. The expenses are high, so I won't get involved. I don't want to say that we don't have enough money and that the money for his wedding has been spent by his spoiled sister-in-law. What will we do then?"

"Forget it, I don't want the money. Zhang Hui, you should be more sensible and do the work yourself."

"Even if all else fails, there's still Zhang Juan. She can come over and help you with the work."

"As for the pot, do you want to ask around in the village, or maybe on the black market? You go there often, don't you?" Zhang Yu knew that Zhang Hui would make the trip every month, since she didn't have enough tickets and had to go there to buy them.

"You can buy it with industrial coupons, right?" Zhang Yu didn't go. She had already prepared everything when she arrived. Even if she needed more, she could just mention it to Zhao Yadong and barter with him.

Zhang Hui knew that the coupon was sold on the black market, but the thought of having to prepare such an expense from her already meager savings made her feel very unhappy.

More importantly, she wasn't really lacking those two industrial vouchers; rather, she found Zhang Juan's work ethic unacceptable. Zhang Juan had been doing housework for months, and even washing dishes was something she found unbearable to watch. It was obvious that Zhang Juan's cooking was terrible.

She wanted to continue eating with Zhang Yu. The food was good, and they could eat meat every few days. More importantly, Zhang Yu was a reliable worker, whereas Zhang Juan was someone you could never trust to work.

"Anyway, it's the last day of the month." Zhang Yu said this, then yawned and went back to her room. "I'll rest for a bit, then I'll go to work."

Zhang Hui watched Zhang Yu's retreating figure, feeling very unhappy. She was really dissatisfied with Zhang Juan, knowing full well that she was having a hard time here, yet this idiot insisted on coming.

Why didn't she realize he was such a fool back then? If only she had been nicer to him, he would have taken advantage of her. She shouldn't have been nice to him in the first place.

"Damn the Zhang family, there's not a single good person among them," Zhang Hui cursed inwardly. But there was nothing she could do. Zhang Yu wouldn't change his mind, so Zhang Hui could only try to figure out how to handle the pot situation. They couldn't go hungry, could they?

She could ignore Zhang Juan's life or death, but she couldn't let her stomach suffer. This was all the trouble that the damned Zhang family had brought upon her. When her parents came looking for her, she absolutely couldn't let them thank the Zhang family. She would settle accounts with them and make them return the gold and silver jewelry she had swallowed.
